Swire Shipping Fijian Drua half­back, Frank Lomani, has been praised by head coach Mick Byrne for putting the team first after he opted out of the match against Melbourne Re­bels, last Saturday.

“It was a very matured decision by Frank,” Byrne said of his veteran half­back during a press conference in Nadi.

“Frank had a bruise during training last Tuesday and we were holding on up until the day when he decided to step down. It was not easy for Frank since he wanted to play against his former club (Rebels). He has actually put the team first in his decision.”

Byrne said, 18-year-old Philip Baselala did not hesitate to take his chances af­ter Lomani pulled out.
